Professional Negligence

The claim was for negligence and breach of duty as to the research carried out and advice provided to our clients relating to a painting sold by our clients in 1994 for £8,000 but offered for sale at auction in January 2009 with an estimate of $4-6 million. The proceedings were issued in 2007 but settled the day before trial. The case attracted extensive media interest on the basis of the Court papers.
